En un regard
Le château en bref
At Amblans-et-Velotte, near Lure in Haute-Saône, the château is an early 18th-century residence, built between 1720 and 1725 by Jean-Charles-Alexis Breton d'Amblans, who came from a Luxeuil family of robe nobility and served there as governor, mayor and bailiff. In 1769 the estate was sold to Claude-Joseph Lyautey de Genevreuille, and after the Revolution it passed to the Damedor de Mollans family. The main building, rectangular in plan, has symmetrical façades. On the courtyard side, a slight avant-corps is crowned by a triangular pediment, and the entrance door, with its mouroé surround, sits within an Ionic-order bay. The house is preceded by a courtyard to the south, bordered by outbuildings to the west, and extended to the north by a park, part of which was cut off in 1855 by the passage of the railway line. The main building, outbuildings and park have been listed in their entirety as Monuments Historiques since 7 December 2015. The château remains a privately owned property.
